Don't get used to the warmer temperatures and bare ground for long; a snowstorm will hit the Capital Region Tuesday into Wednesday.

Six to 10 inches of snow is expected as part of a system that is moving across the country, said National Weather Service meteorologist Joe Villani. That level of snow is expected in the immediate Capital Region as well as the Mohawk Valley. Points south will see more of a snow/rain mix.

Snow will begin late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning, and continue into Wednesday afternoon.

"It does look like the morning commute will be significantly impacted," Villani said.

Current weather models show the snow should let up by Wednesday late afternoon, but that could change.

It's the first measurable snow fall the Capital Region has seen since Jan. 1 and 2.
